Due to the nanostructure of the crystals, they function similarly to Crystal Quest® Eagle® Anti-Scale Media — binding additional calcium and breaking the grid binding structure of existing deposits. Even after a short time, large pieces of deposits are removed, and the process continues until the surface is free from deposits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFormation of a Corrosion-Preventing Layer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter existing calcium deposits are removed, a 30- to 80-micron thick corrosion-preventing layer forms through the reaction of the nano surface of the crystals and the metallic surface of the pipes — comparable to the protective verdigris layer on a copper roof. Once formed, the protective layer maintains complete protection without further growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti-Scale media may be required as a pretreatment in some hard water conditions.
